Severe Storms Cause Flooding, Power Outages Across North Texas

Dallas, Texas — A line of strong storms swept through North Texas Sunday night, bringing gusty winds, heavy rain, and flooding that extended into Monday. A Flood Warning is in effect for Dallas and Tarrant counties until 3 a.m. Monday due to reports of impassable streets.

The National Weather Service warned that areas including Fort Worth, Arlington, and Garland face significant flash flooding risks. In total, almost 88,000 electric customers lost power as the storm caused widespread disruptions.

Witnesses reported winds of up to 70 mph throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area, accompanied by thunder and torrential downpours. No injuries or significant damage were reported immediately, although the storm prompted multiple tornado warnings in surrounding counties.

In the nearby counties of Ellis, Hood, Johnson, and Navarro, a Severe Thunderstorm Warning remained in effect until 4 a.m. Monday. Residents received alerts as the storm progressed through the region, with heavy impacts expected to last for several hours.

Earlier in the evening, a small storm cell led to warnings for parts of Denton and Collin counties, with residents reporting hearing intense thunder around 10 p.m. Forecasts suggested the severe weather would continue into the week with additional storms likely on Wednesday and Thursday.

Flights at DFW International Airport and Dallas Love Field faced delays due to the severe weather, with passengers urged to check with their airlines for updated information.

As the weather system moves through, forecasters stress the importance of preparedness and safety. “Make sure you have multiple ways to receive warnings and an emergency plan,” warned meteorologists.
